\"DCNow that we\u2019ve explored the top ten common myths of traditional DC optimizers, you\u2019re probably thinking, \u201cOK then, what makes SMA\u2019s ShadeFix optimization so much better?\u201d Before we get into that, here\u2019s a recap of the top ten myths in case you\u2019d like a refresher:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Myths 1-5<\/a><\/h5>\n
    \n
  1. Power Optimizers generate more energy for shaded PV arrays<\/li>\n
  2. Traditional Power Optimizers generate more additional energy than they consume<\/li>\n
  3. Power Optimizers (or microinverters) are required for Code Compliance<\/li>\n
  4. Power Optimizers detect \u2018failed\u2019 PV modules<\/li>\n
  5. Traditional Power Optimizers are 99% efficient<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    Myths 6-10\u00a0<\/a><\/h5>\n
      \n
    1. Traditional Power Optimizers help me design longer-strings\u2026 and that\u2019s a good thing<\/li>\n
    2. Traditional Power Optimizers are inherently safer<\/li>\n
    3. Traditional Power Optimizers reduce my O&M costs<\/li>\n
    4. By standardizing on Power Optimizers I realize cost savings in my installation business<\/li>\n
    5. Traditional Power Optimizers are good for the environment<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      A Superior Way to Optimize PV Systems: ShadeFix<\/strong><\/h2>\n

      SMA ShadeFix optimization<\/a> has been proven to produce more energy than traditional optimizers. And if that wasn\u2019t enough, superior technology and a reduced component count reduce lifetime service needs and can cut truck rolls in half.<\/p>\n
